There are still a lot of uncertainties when it comes to The Resident season 4, especially since Fox has yet to announce its renewal status. But although nothing is sure about the future of the medical drama series, there are still stories worth exploring. For instance, the wedding of Conrad and Nic might be featured in the show moving forward.
Conrad and Nic will likely get married in The Resident season 4, given that the couple is engaged in the third installment. Speaking to TV Insider, showrunner Todd Harthan teased the likelihood of the ceremony in the future of the show, noting they can only do it once. Just like the proposal, he explained that they talked in the writers' room about how they wanted to execute it.
Harthan added they had many different versions, and the particular one they landed on, they all felt it has its own fresh and unique execution. He then said that they wanted to do the same thing in Conrad and Nic's wedding. They don't want to rush how and when they'll do it but it's being talked about, even more so than the proposal.
Thus, viewers may witness this wedding in the potential The Resident season 4. The previous installment also featured the couple preparing for it, so there's a huge chance it will indeed happen in the future of the series. According to CarterMatt, this ceremony might happen midway through the season since it would be perfect when February arrives.
When it comes to the renewal of The Resident season 4, Harthman is hopeful about it. He said they all feel confident that it will happen and think they're in a really good shape to continue. The ratings of the third installment are considered solid as well, wherein it managed to generate a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic and less than 4 million live viewers.
It can also be noted that the series is in a difficult timeslot since it airs opposite The Flash, The Conners, The Voice, as well as NCIS. The Fox series has been on a most competitive spot but still managed to survive. Moreover, the series generates DVR ratings and streams. What's also interesting about it is that it delivers stories that are timely and important.
Meanwhile, the remaining episodes that weren't aired this season may possibly be part of The Resident season 4, if ever renewed. The series halted its production due to the health crisis happening around the world at the moment. The show was forced to air an alternative finale, hence more stories were left and needed to be explored.
